Very ballsy to cover an all time classic, and one this difficult. Pretty good I reckon. I had no love for Vancey, but he's up a few points with this effort for mine, kudos.
+Chris Martinez While it may true that some Radiohead fans hold that sentiment you do have to admit that they make more sense than the Lana Del Rey/21 Pilots fanatics that are out there. smh
am i the only one who thinks that alex turner could have pulled this off so well. with his raspy voice that always sounds like there's a hint of melancholy to it. not that vance didn't do a good job, cus they did, but you know, just my two cents.
@@canutecrasto hi Canute. Are you agreeing to this comment or disagreeing? I don't fully understand how you mean what you wrote? I'm not trolling or disregarding your comment in any way, just how i'm reading your message is all... Thanks dude :)
@@bromunculus6117 no they don't but I hear what they are saying, and can almost hear it myself. When it comes to covers you;ve either gotta nail it or make it your own. Vance Joy (if you're not Aussie) played this at the Easter Party JJJ (triple J) a national station puts on every year, and he (although I felt if he made it his own he could have nailed it) done a great job at keeping it raw and original.
Damn.. I really wanted to hear that sax get lose... They played it safe and did a awesome job on a song that is very near and dear to my heart. Great job.
Vance has a great voice but this really lacked emotion. I feel like the gentle attention that Thom gives it was really missing. Sorry, not a candle to the original.
This song is just exquisite & this version does it justice. The instrumentation is especially great. Other really good covers of it, though more spare, are phoebe bridgers & arlo park's collaboration and Alexander Mills' cover.
I like this version, although I have to say one of my favorite things about the original is Jonny Greenwood shredding towards the end. However the brass was something new, and every cover should try to do something different with the original.
The original song is the set standard. What is mainly judged is if the cover is good or not, not how same it is to the original. Regardless, this cover met neither. Sorry, expectations are high.
I don't understand why everybody is being so tough on him.... This is a pretty good cover regardless of any changes to the original. Some of you make me disappointed to be part of the Radiohead fanbase with your ignorant, close-minded opinions on how he doesn't compare to the original - one simple tip - DON'T COMPARE A COVER TO THE ORIGINAL. Vance is not Thom, therefore he is not required to sing or plat exactly like Thom would. P.s - I'd love to see all of you haters do a more faithful cover than Vance's.
Doesnt take a good chef to tell if a meal is shit, so I think the line “is like to see you do better” is invalid. Also I think comparing to the original is fine, everyone’s allowed to give their opinion. That being said I agree that people shouldn’t be so toxic when comparing different versions of the song
I wanted to hear more emotion in his voice. Other than that, he did a decent job. On the part when Thom sings " I can't help the feeling", you have to feel what he feels and I didn't get that.
I loved it, too. Vance shouldn't be compared to Thom. Thom is a legend by this point, so it's unfair to Vance to have to live up to those high standards.
David Edward I like to see it like a painting, they made a part to be like one way for a reason, when I try to play a song that is not mine I try to play like it is supposed to be played, and with the original instrumentation
He dumbed down the acoustic guitar part and lacked thom's emotion while the band just did good impressions of their respective parts. This sounds like something me, my brother and a few friends might play in our garage before lamenting about our collective musical mediocrity. It's not necessarily bad, just it's something that belongs in a school talent show tbh
Also the horns just felt too gimicky and didn't replace the raw intensity of the guitar jangle, while again that removal of the transitional suspended 4th, and 2nd chords kinda just ruins the progression. Just overall dead I guess
Damn good job. Dont know what the bitching about his voice is about ... he's about as close as you can get without being Thom, especially for a one-off performance.
